The Lomo Rules
The Lomographic Society developed the 10 Golden Rules of Lomography which enable you develop a great sense for taking lomographs whatever the situation.
If you don't like to follow rules then go ahead and find your own Lomo style.
10 Golden Rules Of Lomo
- Take your Lomo everywhere you go
This I always do along with an extra roll of film.
- Use it anytime - day and night
- Lomography is not an interference with your life but a part of it
It will soon feel natural to take Lomographs of everything.
- Get as close as possible to the objects of you lomographic desire
I still don't get this right half the time.
- Don't think
Once you start thinking about composition, the unexpected qualities start to go.
- Be fast
As fast as you can take you camera from your pocket. For instant reaction, use the supplied wrist strap.
- You don't have to know beforehand what is on your film
- Nor afterwards
You will figure it out eventually.
- Try the shot from the hip
Or from the ground.
- Don't worry about (golden) rules
Be unique and find your own way.
